Weekly Newspapers VS Daily Newspapers

Women - Daily 49% • Weekly 53%

As compared to a daily newspaper audience, weekly newspapers are read by more women readers. This is great news for advertisers! Women are commonly the key purchase decision-makers in households.

Homeowners - Daily 33% • Weekly 40%

Homeowners have a vested interest in both local news and improving their communities. Community newspapers are the source for local tax news, real estate transactions and other quality of life topics. Homeowners, versus those who rent, are the consumers advertisers most desire to reach.

Households with Children- Daily 62% • Weekly 70%

People with children turn to their local weekly newspapers for school news and town events. Local weekly papers report on – and show photos of – the community based activities so important to residents and their children. Families with children are a highly desirable market for advertisers.

OUR HISTORY

The Town Common Weekly Newspaper started in 2004 and immediately captured a new and under-served market. Within one year circulation grew to meet the demands of readers with trusted news reporting and community focused features. The Town Common has grown into a powerful local advertising vehicle.

The Town Common Monthly Community Calendar & Guide was established a year later and offers the most complete listing of events and happenings in a reader friendly format for the North Shore of Mass, Merrimac Valley, Cape Ann and Coastal New Hampshire.

The Town Common publications and web site are superior media vehicles which bring businesses and their communities closer together.
